Palm falls for third session in fourth, softer ringgit caps losses
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Wednesday for a third session in fourth, although firmer crude oil prices and a softer ringgit lent some support to prices.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for January delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange slid 24 ringgit, or 0.52%, to 4,613 ringgit ($1,052.48) a metric ton in early trade. The market will be closed on Thursday for a holiday.
